White House hopeful Mitt Romney said religious liberty "is fundamental to America's greatness," in his Thursday address on faith in America.
"Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone," he said.
Trust me Mitt, religion has flourished for thousands of years without freedom - and for most of that time, it has vehemently opposed freedom, seeking primarily to aggrandize itself. And freedom certainly does not require religion. Freedom of religion also gives us freedom from religion.
